                        EDUCATION MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read
  in conjunction with the notes to consolidated financial statements included in
  the Fiscal 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K of Education Management Corporation
  ("EDMC" or the "Company"). The accompanying condensed consolidated balance
  sheet as of June 30, 2001 has been derived from the audited balance sheet
  included in the Company's Fiscal 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The
  accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are
  unaudited; however, management believes that all adjustments necessary for a
  fair presentation have been made and all such adjustments are normal,
  recurring adjustments. The results for the three-month and six-month periods
  ended December 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
  expected for the full fiscal year. Unless otherwise noted, references to 2001
  and 2002 refer to the periods ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively.

     Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the
  current period presentation.

2.   NATURE OF OPERATIONS:

     The Company is among the largest providers of private proprietary
  postsecondary education in North America, based on student enrollment and
  revenue through its operating units, primarily the Art Institutes and Argosy.
  The Art Institutes offer master's, bachelor's, associate's degree and non-
  degree programs in the areas of design, media arts, fashion, and culinary
  arts. Argosy Education Group, Inc. ("Argosy") provides doctoral, master's,
  bachelor's, and associate's degree programs in behavioral sciences, education,
  business, and health sciences fields. The Company has provided career-oriented
  education for 40 years.

    The National Center for Paralegal Training (NCPT), which is located in The
  Art Institute of Atlanta facility, will no longer accept new students but will
  continue to conduct classes to permit its present 183 students to complete
  their education programs. The Company does not expect that the closure of NCPT
  will have a material effect on revenue or operating income.

3.   PUBLIC OFFERING OF COMMON STOCK:

     On December 4, 2001, the previously announced public offering of the
  Company's Common Stock (the "Offering") closed at $32.50 per share. A total of
  5,175,000 shares were sold, including 4,164,681 newly issued shares sold by
  the Company and 1,010,319 shares sold by members of the Company's senior
  management and board of directors.

     In the Offering, the Company received total net proceeds, after deduction
  of expenses and underwriting discounts payable by the Company, of
  approximately $127.6 million. On the date the Offering closed, approximately
  $39.5 million of the proceeds were used to repay the outstanding indebtedness
  under the Company's credit agreement. The remaining proceeds were used to fund
  the acquisition of Argosy, see Note 5, and for general corporate purposes.


4.   CAPITAL STOCK:

     Reflected below is a summary of the Company's capital stock:

</TABLE>

     For the six-month period ended December 31, 2001, 126,763 shares held in
  treasury were sold in connection with the exercise of stock options and
  shares purchased under an employee stock purchase plan.

5.   BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS:

     On December 21, 2001, the Company completed its acquisition of Argosy, a
  leading private provider of postgraduate professional education, headquartered
  in Chicago, Illinois. Previously, the Company had closed in escrow its
  purchase of 4.9 million shares of Class A Common Stock, $.01 par value per
  share of Argosy from Argosy's controlling shareholder pursuant to the terms
  and conditions of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated July 9, 2001. The aggregate
  cash purchase price for these shares was $58.8 million. The Company acquired
  the approximately 1.6

                                       6
<PAGE>

  million remaining Argosy shares outstanding for $12.00 per share at the
  closing of the merger with Argosy in December. The acquisition of Argosy will
  broaden EDMC's presence in the higher education market by expanding education
  program offerings and adding school locations.

     On July 25, 2001, the Company signed a purchase agreement acquiring the
  assets of International Fine Arts College ("IFAC"), located in Miami, Florida.
  This transaction closed in September 2001, subject to final approval from the
  United States Department of Education, which was received in January 2002.

     On September 17, 2001, the Company signed an agreement to purchase certain
  assets of ITI Information Technology Institute ("ITI"), based in Halifax, Nova
  Scotia, Canada from Ernst and Young, Inc., in its capacity as ITI's court-
  appointed receiver. This transaction closed on November 23, 2001.

     These acquisitions were accounted for as purchases in accordance with
  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business
  Combinations" ("SFAS 141"), which the Company adopted in the first quarter of
  fiscal 2002. The aggregate purchase price of Argosy was approximately $83.0
  million. Combined with the other two entities acquired during the six-month
  period, the aggregate purchase price of the acquisitions was approximately
  $113.7 million, which resulted in estimated goodwill and other intangibles of
  approximately $81.3 million and $18.8 million, respectively. The Company is in
  the process of finalizing third-party valuations of certain tangible and
  intangible assets for these acquisitions; therefore, the allocation of the
  purchase price is subject to refinement.

     The Company has consolidated the results of operations for each of the
  acquired entities as of the respective merger date. The following table
  reports pro forma information as if the acquisition of Argosy had been
  completed at the beginning of the stated periods (unaudited, in thousands,
  except per share amounts):

</TABLE>

     The fiscal 2002 results above include combined net revenue from IFAC and
  ITI of approximately $5.3 million and $6.2 million for the three- and six-
  month periods ended December 31, 2001, respectively. Net Income for these
  entities was approximately $866,000 and $827,000 for the respective fiscal
  2002 periods. Therefore, the results of these entities had a 2.5 cent impact
  on diluted earnings per share for both the three- and six-month periods.

     Two of Argosy's entities, Western State University College of Law and The
  Connecting Link, were acquired on March 1, 2001, and therefore are not
  included in the fiscal 2001 data above.

</TABLE>

     For the quarter ended December 31, 2001, options to purchase 140,181 shares
  were excluded from the diluted earnings per share because of their
  antidilutive effect (due to the exercise price of such options exceeding the
  average market price for the period).

7.   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:

     Comprehensive income consisted of the following (in thousands):

     Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) represents only the foreign
  currency translation adjustment approximately $26,000, as of December 31,
  2001.

8.   NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:

     In August 2001, SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
  Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), was issued.  This statement addresses
  financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-
  lived assets. This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of"
  ("SFAS 121"), Accounting Principles Board ("APB") No. 30, "Reporting the
  Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a
  Business and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
  Transactions" ("APB 30") and APB No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements"
  ("APB 51"). This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
  December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company
  is currently evaluating the impact of this statement but does not anticipate
  that the adoption of SFAS 144 will have a material impact on the Company's
  financial position and results of operations.

9.   SEGMENT REPORTING:

     The Company's principal business is providing post-secondary education. The
  services of EDMC's operations are discussed in more detail under Note 2,
  "Nature of Operations." In accordance with SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
  Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," EDMC manages its business
  according to two segments: The Art Institutes and Argosy (including ITI).
  Corporate information is included where it is needed to reconcile segment data
  to the consolidated financial statements. These segments are based upon the
  method by which management makes operating decisions and assesses performance.

     Summary information by reportable segment is as follows (in thousands):

10.  INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

     In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142,
  "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), under which goodwill is
  no longer amortized.  As required by SFAS 142, an independent appraisal
  company evaluated the intangible assets for impairment as of July 1, 2001 and
  no impairment existed. The Company will evaluate the intangible assets for
  impairment annually (or more frequently, if needed) with any resulting
  impairment reflected as an operating expense.

     Amortization of intangible assets for the three and six months ended
  December 31, 2001 was approximately $530,000 and $839,000, respectively.
  Estimated amortization expense for intangible assets for the next five fiscal
  years ended June 30, is as follows:

 expressly disclaims any obligation or understanding to release publicly any
 updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein to

 financial condition should be read in conjunction with the interim unaudited
 condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes
 thereto, included herein. Unless otherwise noted, references to 2001 and 2002
 are to the periods ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively.

Results of Operations

Three months ended December 31, 2001 compared to the three months ended December
31, 2000

  Net revenues increased by 25.6% to $129.5 million in 2002 from $103.1 million
in the second quarter of 2001 due primarily to a 15.6% increase in student
enrollment, accompanied by a tuition increase of approximately 7% over the prior
year. Total student enrollment at the Company's schools increased from 27,999 in
2001 to 32,375 in 2002, including enrollment growth of approximately 7.5% at the
schools that have been operated by the Company for 24 months or more.  In
addition, fiscal 2002 includes a full quarter of revenue for entities that the
Company did not own in the comparable prior quarter: The Art Institute of Las
Vegas (AiLV), IFAC, ITI and Argosy. These entities contributed approximately
$6.6 million of revenue to the quarter ended December 31, 2001. IFAC and Argosy
were included in fiscal 2002 from their respective acquisition dates of November
23, 2001 and December 21, 2001.

  Educational services expense increased by $16.3 million, or 28.0%, to $74.3
million in 2002 from $58.1 million in 2001, due primarily to the incremental
costs incurred to support higher student enrollment. These costs include
increased salaries, rent and operating expenses, as well as depreciation and
amortization associated with recent capital expenditures. Educational services
expense as a percent of revenue increased 110 basis points from 56.3% in fiscal
2001 to 57.4% in 2002. The increase reflects costs associated with recent
acquisitions and start-up locations that have been operating for less than two
years.

  General and administrative expense was $22.7 million in 2002, up 13.7% from
$20.0 million in 2001. The increase over the comparable quarter in the prior
year reflects increased employee compensation and advertising and recruiting
costs, offset by a decrease in legal costs (litigation in Houston settled in the
second quarter of the prior year). In addition, the four acquisitions made
during the past 12 months have contributed to the rise in general and
administrative costs. As a percent of net revenues, general and administrative
expense decreased by 180 basis points to 17.5% as compared to the second quarter
of fiscal 2001. Marketing and admissions costs and legal expense decreased as a
percentage of net revenues as compared to those incurred in the three months
ended December 31, 2000.

  Amortization of intangibles increased by $81,000 to $530,000 in 2002, as
compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2001.  This increase is associated with
intangibles acquired in conjunction with the purchases of AiLV, IFAC, ITI,
Argosy, and the amortization of ongoing curriculum development at The Art
Institute Online. The effect of these increases for the quarter was partially
offset by a decrease of approximately $256,000 in amortization of goodwill as a
result of the Company's adoption of SFAS 142.

  Net interest expense was $548,000 in 2002, as compared to $823,000 in 2001.
This reduction is attributable to a decrease in average borrowings for the
quarter ended December 31, 2001, as well as an approximate three percentage
point drop in the Company's weighted average borrowing rate. The proceeds
received in the Offering were used to pay down debt of approximately $39.5
million.

  The Company's effective tax rate declined to 38.6% in 2002 from 39.0% in 2001,
primarily due to the reduced impact of nondeductible expenses as a percent of
income before income taxes.  The effective rates differed from the combined
federal and state statutory rates due to expenses that are nondeductible for tax
purposes.

  Net income increased by $4.8 million to $19.3 million in 2002 from $14.5
million in 2001.  The increase is attributable to improved results from
operations at the Company's schools, lower interest costs, and a lower effective
tax rate, partially offset by an increase in amortization of intangibles.

Six months ended December 31, 2001 compared to the six months ended December 31,
2000

  Net revenues increased by 26.0% to $221.4 million for the first six months of
fiscal 2002 from $175.7 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2001.
Average enrollment at the Company's schools increased 16.6% from 24,495 in 2001
to 28,555 in 2002.  The enrollment growth and higher tuition rates resulted in
greater net revenues for 2002. The results of operations for IFAC, ITI, and
Argosy are included in EDMC's results from the respective acquisition dates of
September 4, 2001, November 23, 2001, and December 21, 2001. In addition, fiscal
2002 includes a full six months of revenue The Art Institute of California
(AiCA), and AiLV, which the Company did not own for the entire comparable prior
period last year. Combined, these new entities contributed approximately
$11.2 million of revenue to the six months ended December 31, 2001.

  Educational services expense increased by $30.4 million, or 27.4%, to $141.5
million in 2002 from $111.1 million in 2001, due primarily to the incremental
costs incurred to support higher student enrollment.  These costs include
increased salaries, rent, and operating expenses as well as increased
depreciation and amortization associated with recent capital expenditures.
Educational services expense as a percent of revenue increased approximately 70
basis points from 63.2% in fiscal 2001 to 63.9% in 2002. The increase in this
expense reflects costs associated with recent acquisitions and start-up
locations that have been operating for less than two years.

  General and administrative expense was $43.4 million in 2002, up 18.5% from
$36.6 million in 2001.  The increase over the comparable period in the prior
year reflects increased advertising and recruiting costs as well as increased
employee compensation, offset by decreases in legal costs (litigation in Houston
settled in the second quarter of the prior year).  In addition, the five
acquisitions made during the past 18 months have contributed to the rise in
general and administrative costs.  As a percent of net revenues, general and
administrative expense decreased by 130 basis points to 19.6% as compared to the
comparable six months of fiscal 2001. Marketing and admissions costs,
centralized support expense, and legal costs decreased as a percentage of net
revenues as compared to those incurred in the six months ended December 31,
2000.

  Amortization of intangibles decreased by approximately $22,000 to $839,000 in
2002.  This change reflects the impact of the Company's adoption of
SFAS 142, (a reduction of approximately $465,000). This reduction was offset by
the incremental amortization associated with intangibles acquired in conjunction
with recent acquisitions, along with amortization of ongoing curriculum
development at The Art Institute Online.

  Net interest expense was $1.0 million in 2002, as compared to $1.4 million in
2001. This decrease is attributable to a decrease in average borrowings for the
six months ended December 31, 2001, as well as an approximate three percentage
point decrease in the Company's weighted average borrowing rate for the six-
month period.

  The Company's effective tax rate declined 0.4% to 38.6% in 2002 from 39.0% in
2001, primarily due to the reduced impact of nondeductible expenses as a percent
of income before income taxes.  The effective rates differed from the combined
federal and state statutory rates due to expenses that are nondeductible for tax
purposes.

  Net income increased by $5.6 million to $21.3 million in 2002 from $15.7
million in 2001.  The increase is attributable to improved results from
operations at the Company's schools, lower interest costs, and a reduction in
the effective tax rate.

Seasonality and Other Factors Affecting Quarterly Results

  The Company's quarterly revenues and income fluctuate primarily as a result of
the pattern of student enrollments. The Company experiences a seasonal increase
in new enrollments in the fall (fiscal year second quarter), which is
traditionally when the largest number of new high school graduates begin
postsecondary education. Some students choose not to attend classes during
summer months, although the Company's schools encourage year-round attendance.
As a result, total student enrollments at the Company's schools are highest in
the fall quarter and lowest in the summer months (fiscal year first quarter).
The Company's costs and expenses, however, do not fluctuate as significantly as
revenues on a quarterly basis. Historically, the Company's profitability has
been lowest in its fiscal first quarter due to lower revenues combined with
expenses incurred in preparation for the peak enrollments in the fall quarter.
The Company anticipates that with the acquisition of Argosy, whose student
population demographics differ from that of The Art Institutes, the seasonal
pattern in revenues and earnings will continue in the future. Argosy currently
does not have classes in September and its summer enrollment is typically lower
than other periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  The Company generated positive cash flow from operating activities of $66.8
million for the six months ended December 31, 2001, an increase of $19.6 million
over the comparable period for fiscal 2001, due to increases in net income, non-
cash charges, and advanced payments from students.

  The Company had working capital deficits of $19.4 million and $35.4 million as
of December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, as compared to $11.5 million of
working capital as of June 30, 2001. The decrease in working capital from June
30, 2001 reflects the net effects of the cash infusion from the Offering, offset
by cash used for acquisitions, retirement of debt, and capital expenditures. Net
receivables increased $10.8 million from June 30, 2001 and $7.0 million from
December 31, 2000, primarily as a result of higher student enrollment and the
corresponding revenue increase and acquisitions that occurred during the six
months ended December 31, 2001.

  The Offering generated $127.6 million net proceeds to the Company received at
the beginning of December 2001. Approximately $39.5 million of the cash was used
to repay borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. At the
closing of Argosy on December 21, 2001, the remaining portion of the proceeds
was used to complete the purchase of Argosy and retire a portion of their
outstanding debt.

  The Company and its lenders amended and restated their Credit Agreement,
effective September 20, 2001, to increase allowable borrowings from $100 million
to $150 million on a revolving basis. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement,
which will expire September 20, 2004, is secured by certain assets of the
Company. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains the customary
covenants that, among other matters, require the Company to meet specified
financial ratios, restrict the repurchase of Common Stock and limit the
incurrence of additional indebtedness. As of December 31, 2001, the Company was
in compliance with all covenants under the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement.

  Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are used by the
Company primarily to finance acquisitions and fund working capital needs
resulting from the seasonal pattern of cash receipts throughout the year. The
level of accounts receivable reaches a peak immediately after the billing of
tuition and fees at the beginning of each academic quarter. Collection of these
receivables is heaviest at the start of each academic quarter.

  The Company believes that its borrowing needs will be greatly reduced as a
result of the proceeds received in the Offering. Cash flow from operations,
supplemented from time to time by borrowings under the Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement, is expected to provide adequate funds for ongoing operations,
planned expansion to new locations, planned capital expenditures and debt
service during the term of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

  The Company anticipates its total capital spending for fiscal 2002 will
increase as compared to the prior year.  The 2002 expenditures relate
principally to the investment in schools acquired or started during the previous
several years and those added in 2002, continued improvements to current
facilities, additional or replacement school and housing facilities and
classroom and administrative technology.

  The majority of the Company's facilities are leased.  Future commitments on
existing leases will be paid from cash provided from operating activities.

  The National Center for Paralegal Training (NCPT), which is located in The Art
Institute of Atlanta facility, will no longer accept new students but will
continue to conduct classes to permit its present 183 students to complete their
education programs. The Company does not expect that the closure of NCPT will
have a material effect on revenue or operating income.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

   In August 2001, SFAS 144 was issued.  This statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.
This statement supersedes SFAS 121, APB 30, and APB 51.  This statement is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim
periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of this statement but does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 144
will have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of
operations.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK


   The Company is exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of business
that include foreign currency exchange rates.  The Company does not utilize
interest rate swaps, forward or option contracts on foreign currencies or
commodities, or other types of derivative financial instruments.  The Company is
subject to fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S.
dollar.  The Company does not believe it is subject to material risks from
reasonably possible near-term changes in exchange rates.
